Dan Levitin has more insights per page than any other neuroscientist I know. The Organized Mind is smart, important, and as always, exquisitely written.
Daniel Gilbert, author of 'Stumbling on Happiness' on 'The Organized Mind'
The Organized Mind is the perfect antidote to the effects of information overload. Loved it.
Scott Turow, New York Times bestselling author of 'Identical' and 'Innocent' on 'The Organized Mind'
Already deservedly a bestseller... The Organized Mind is from the school of Daniel Kahneman but it earns its keep. Levitin demonstrates how easily we are bamboozled by statistical tricks in medicine, finance and safety, making his points with pithy stories.
Independent on 'The Organized Mind'
Daniel Levitin's field guide is a critical thinking primer for our shrill, data-drenched age. From the way averages befuddle to the logical fallacies that sneak by us, every page is enlightening
Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit and Smarter, Faster, Better
The world is awash with data, but not always with accurate information. A Field Guide to Lies does a terrific job of illustrating the difference between the two with precision-and delightful good humour
Charles Wheelan, Senior Lecturer and Policy Fellow, Rockefeller Center, Dartmouth College, author of Naked Economics
Valuable tools for anyone willing to evaluate claims and get to the truth of the matter
